Sleeping a lot

[Leannieb]

Hi I picked max up yesterday. 😄. He is almost 9 weeks. He seems to have settled in quite well. Has drank and eaten fine. Goes outside for his business well. He slept fine in his crate last night as well. He has been asleep quite a bit today. Is that normal? He loves his crate. Thanks in advance 😄

Sounds normal - puppies do sleep a lot, like babies do!

Lottie worked on a two hour schedule of sleep, wake, wee, play, ad infinitum, with the sleep lasting from 60-90 minutes!

Soon changes though, although madam has always liked her sleep

Yep very normal for pups. At one time I had to have a look and see if MInstrel was still breathing..

Make the most of it, I promise it will not last  As they get to be older and used to their surroundings, they become more active and playful.

I have to admit I kept checking if Bea was still breathing 
They do so much growing they need there sleep.

Oh good I'm glad it's normal. I also keep checking he is breathing all the time!! Thanks everyone x

I feel the same! I wondered if Ludo was getting ill from the amount he seemed to sleep. And always more in the afternoons and evenings.  But he is bonkers in the mornings, so it seems the naps across the day recharge his batteries a bit less each time til bed time!

Same as others have said, they're essentially babies so will sleep most of the day away!  Make the most of it!!!!
